Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest ever Miami Open champion on Sunday after the 18-year-old Spaniard defeated Norway's Casper Ruud to win his first ATP Masters title.

Alcaraz showed just why many believe he is currently the hottest young prospect in men's tennis with a 7-5, 6-4 victory. Only two men have won titles at this level at a younger age - Michael Chang, who was 18 years and five months, and Rafael Nadal, 18 years and 10 months.
